Thread: What I think should change about 3.0 BLM.

Hmm, well here's an idea... maybe a bad idea, but an idea nonetheless.

How about having Enochian act as a rotation enabling buff, where when it is up we use F4, B4, and T4, and we use the 2.0 rotation while it is down.
Here is how I envision it, and the required changes to make it happen... hopefully without being "too" OP.

1. Enochian is a 30s buff with a 60s CD.
2. Under the effect of Enochian:
You get a 10% damage increase.
All Fire series spells (including Flare) are converted into Fire 4, which applies AF4 (2x Fire spell potency).
All Blizzard series spells (including Freeze) are converted into Blizzard 4, which applied UI4 (100% mp per tick).
All Thunder series spells are converted to Thunder 4 (30s 50 potency dot) - to make it worth using.
B4 does not increase the remaining time on Enochian. It has a 50% base uptime.
Lastly, all spells are instant under the effect of Enochian.
3. Increase the radius of Ley Lines from 3y to 6y. Same effect as we have now. This will still reduce the gcd during instant-spam Enochian.
4. Add a spell at 60 which refreshes the Enochian ability (not the duration the ability that applies the buff). This spell should have a 2 (maybe 3) minute refresh. So if you truly need more burst for longer, you can have it.

That leaves 1 spell spot left.
52 Ley Lines
54 Sharpcast
56 Enochian
58 ???
60 Enochian Ability Refresh

Maybe move Enochian to 58... or maybe 52 to introduce it sooner... Anyway that is the general idea.
For ~50% of the time, you use the standard low mobility 2.0 rotation.
The other 50% you are FREE!!! Free to move and cast devastating spells of devastation... but no AoE aside from throwing T4 on everything that moves. This will likely mean that the potency of F4 and B4 will be reduced, maybe to 240 like F3 and B3.

With this in place, you basically have a short term stance toggle. You cant really aoe in Enochian, though you can click it off, it is more of an ST - dealing with mechanics like a bard - stance.
